Synology DS207+ SATA NAS Server Review. Page 13

DS207+ is designed with Windows ADS authentication, USB printer sharing, dynamic website hosting, and data backup. In our today’s review we are going to take a closer look at this award-winning solution.

Conclusion

When we tested the Synology DS107+, it got a very positive report from us. It boasted the highest quality and broadest functionality we had seen by that moment. So we are especially delighted that Synology has been improving its product since then. Thanks to the recently released firmware the DS207+ brings about a new level of functionality. For a NAS, firmware plays an important role, and the DS207+ is an example of that.

Our tests also indicate that the DS207+ delivers highest performance. Considering this, we can recommend this NAS for every user. Its drawbacks are negligible while its price (about $320) is most reasonable.
